Here are a few sad geese for this #featheredfriday
The lake is frozen over and the geese are doing flybys looking for melted water.
After a few passes they finally realize the lake is fully frozen over.
The geese already standing on the ice honked loudly at the latecomers. Hurry up and land so you can help us melt this ice!
Finally they made a slippery landing.
Now what do we do? Just stand around and poop on the ice?
The group did a few waddles around looking for any weak spots.
Sadly they found none.
Perhaps some hot poop will melt a hole into the ice? Didn't work.
Maybe a warm body hugging the ice will melt it? Didn't work.
Now this guy is honking loudly to tell all the others to fly over to the unmelted river.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
So beautiful pics of geese, I love them. ❤️❤️❤️
They were pretty much the only birds out and it was funny watching them complain about not being able to swim on the lake.
Icy Canada geese. It's amazing that the cold doesn't seem to affect them. 😄
They have a weird ability to regulate their blood vessels in their legs to keep themselves warm.
Amazing abilities. Some of the ones that live here migrate south for the winter, so I wonder if they have a different circulatory system.
They try and stay here as long as possible and some years they don't even leave. But if it gets too cold they start flying south.
Thanks :-)
I have been seeing geese sitting on the ice here too. Although they seem to have moved on during this last cold snap. Nice snaps 👍 a couple of reflections trying to happen in there haha
Just imagine thinking, ahh I think it would be nice to take a rest here on a solid block of ice. Geese are strange critters, maybe their goose fat protects them somehow.
